• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

How has Asperger's helped you serve God?

Found out through self-diagnoses that I have Asperger's Syndrome maybe a week ago. pretty much hit the nail on the head for what I've gone through my whole life.

I'm pretty much a loner. Christ is my best and only friend.

the LORD saving me 4 years ago helped me to deal with my "lonerness" in that I no longer need validation from others. I'm fine with who I am and the discovery of AS has only helped me in that respect.

I understand that I can't serve in the same way an NT can so I figure out ways to be a servant in my own way. I help clean up after fellowships meals, I pass out flyers during evangistic outings, I pray for people, and I tithe consistently.

I always think of the tale of the talents where the person with one talent wasn't punished for only having one talent but for not using the one talent they had. I seek to be a faithful servant with what the LORD has given me. If I do that, He'll give me more.
A Bible reading and prayer life is very important. Seems like your prayers are a blessings.

even if someone gains the whole world....

Well, a lot of Christians get them; my wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that one should follow the crowd, but it's not innately harmful, is it? There are multiple factors involved and some are relevant, though some are less pressing than others

Christ...which gives them an identity that cannot be taken away from them and the ability to work through their life issues and not sit around feeling sorry for themselves.

OR - did God design us all to be Aspies; and "regular" mental wiring is the result of original sin?
